Speaking as a carb guy who loves 'em, I'd recommend you stick with your
working FI system. If your only problem is mileage, you probably just need
some minor tweaking with timing. The FI systems require less maintenance,
fussing and expertise. While FI components can be a lot more costly, it's my
impression that the people who wind up spending a lot on replacement parts
are often stabbing at wrong fixes.

What's your current normal mileage?
